Ushikata Daigen used Sougen to get behind Shiba Isshin, and simultaneously slashed at Shiba Isshin's back with two blades connected to his hands.

"You're the one I've been waiting for!"

Suddenly, Shiba Isshin turned around, and the crescent moon, burning with raging flames, slashed fiercely at the Hollow with horns behind him.

boom--! ! !

The crescent moon exploded open with a roar, dyeing the night sky red.

"Hu-hu-hu-"

Zhibo caught his breath.

He had staked almost all of his available spiritual pressure on this attack, and was already exhausted.

However, the figure that emerged from the gradually dissipating firelight made his heart sink.

The Hollow with horns did not fall to this attack. Its right arm had been severed, and its armor had been damaged by the explosion, cracking open. However, its spiritual pressure had only weakened slightly, far exceeding that of Shiba Isshin, whose spiritual pressure had been exhausted.

"Ow!!!"

The Great Hollow with horns swung its blade-like arm, cleaving through the still-lingering flames and smoke.

"This is bad..."

Shiba swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, but the spiritual pressure restored by the pill was only a drop in the ocean.

Given the strength of the Hollow with horns, he cannot defeat the Hollow with horns unless the spiritual pressure of the 'Limited Spirit Seal' is released.

Ushikata no Hollow didn't give Shiba Isshin any time to catch his breath before attacking again.

Just then, a spirit arrow pierced through the darkness and shot towards the Great Void with the Bull Horn at high speed.

However, the Great Hollow with horns was very alert and quickly dodged the spirit arrows.

"The Quincy's Sacred Arrow of Annihilation?!"

Shiba Isshin recognized the spirit arrow as the Sacred Annihilation Arrow, a technique only Quincy could use.

Looking in the direction from which the arrows came, one could see a girl with short, orange hair and a shawl holding the spirit bow.

The Quincy girl who came to help Shiba Isshin was none other than Kurosaki Masaki, who was out looking for food.

Masaki Kurosaki's family went on a trip, so she had to find a way to feed herself.

After several attempts, nearly setting the kitchen on fire, she finally gave up cooking and went out to find food.

Sensing the terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuations of the Hollow with horns, she immediately rushed over.

"Run! This guy's tough!"

Shiba didn't want to be a burden to this kind-hearted Quincy.

In his view, the Quincy of the present world are of average strength and are no match for this Hollow with spiritual pressure that is no less than that of a Captain-level Shinigami.

Masaki Kurosaki remained silent, simply drawing her bow and shooting an arrow.

But the Great Void with horns was extremely fast and easily dodged all the arrows.

Ushikata deduced that the weakened Shiba Isshin posed no threat, so he shifted his attack target and attacked Kurosaki Masaki.

"So fast! I can't keep up with its movements!"

Masaki Kurosaki's arrows shot faster and faster, but she still failed to hit the Hollow with horns.

Seeing the rapidly approaching Hollow with horns, the impetuous young Masaki Kurosaki chose to go all out.

"Idiot, what are you doing! Get out of the way!"

Shiba Isshin saw that the Quincy girl on the ground had dispelled her spirit bow and was not dodging or avoiding the attack from the Horned Hollow.

puff-

The Hollow bit into Masaki Kurosaki's shoulder, but she also grabbed the horn on its head.

"Gotcha!"

With her free hand, Masaki Kurosaki conjured a small spirit bow.

bang——

The Divine Annihilation Arrow pierced the neck of the Great Hollow with Bull Horn.

Chapter 419 Hollowfied Quincy

"Using yourself as bait? That's reckless!"

Shiba Isshin was somewhat astonished when he saw how the Quincy girl dealt with the Hollow with the horns.

However, he quickly sensed the abnormal spiritual pressure emanating from the horned Hollow.

After the horned void was pierced through the neck by an arrow, the fleshy tumor in the void quickly swelled up.

The spiritual pressure within the tumor is extremely unstable, and it will likely soon become a powerful spiritual pressure bomb.

However, after the Quincy girl pushed away the Hollow with the bull horn biting her shoulder, the tumor swelled to a size larger than the original Hollow's size.

She can't escape it!

Shiba Isshin's expression changed slightly; he couldn't abandon the Quincy girl who had saved his life.

Fortunately, thanks to the healing pills, his spiritual pressure has also recovered considerably.

call out--

Shiba Isshin used Shunpo to get to Kurosaki Masaki's side and tackled her.

"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Duan Kong!"

The next instant, the fleshy tumor on the body of the horned Hollow suddenly exploded.

boom--! ! !

A mushroom cloud rose in the darkness.

July and Aizen Sousuke, suspended in the air, silently watched the mushroom cloud rise from Karakura Town.

"It seems that the cultivation of Xu Bai has gone a bit too far!" July scratched her face.

After Xu Bai was born, he was the one who nurtured him.

To ensure that Hollow White's strength did not meet expectations, July was very generous in nurturing Hollow White, and later even used Hollows enhanced with Hogyoku as its food.

However, it now seems that Xu Bai's current strength has surpassed that of the original Xu Bai.

So strong that Shiba Isshin didn't dare to pounce on Kyohaku, but instead chose to pounce on Kurosaki Masaki.

"The Hollow's spiritual pressure flowed into this Quincy's body..."

Aizen Sousuke watched the changes below and noticed something that neither of the two parties involved had realized.

It seems that Xu Bai has detonated his spiritual pressure, turning into a dangerous spiritual pressure bomb.

But in reality, after it was shot through the neck by the Quincy, it transferred a portion of its spiritual pressure into the Quincy's body through the wound it had just bitten.

The explosion that is happening now is actually the explosion of the residual spiritual pressure that caused the void white to lose its core and become unstable.

Is this its will to survive?

Aizen Sousuke seemed to have guessed some of Hollow White's thoughts.

Hollow White is a Hollow-like creature created by a deceased Shinigami. Excluding the factor of strength, its current state is not even as good as an ordinary Hollow. It is not truly alive, and its consciousness is extremely chaotic, with only the instinct for survival and the instinct for hunting.

Therefore, in Aizen Sousuke's view, Hollow White's transfer of power containing its will into the Quincy's body was probably driven by its survival instinct.

As the flames subsided, the 'Severing Void' technique that Shiba Isshin had hastily unleashed was shattered by the explosion.

Shiba Isshin had been knocked unconscious by the shock of the explosion.

"Are you ok?"

"You're badly injured!"

When Kurosaki Masaki saw that Shiba Isshin's back was charred black, she couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.

"She's fainted... What are we going to do?!"

Masaki Kurosaki gritted her teeth and actually carried Isshin Shiba on her back.

She had medicine at home to treat injuries to spirits, so she decided to carry Shiba Ichishin home to heal.

"Should I take this home...?"

Things took a wrong turn. If July hadn't been trying to bring Shiba Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki together, there probably would have been a scene where the blond guy gets beaten up.

A moment later, Masaki Kurosaki brought Isshin Shiba to the Kurosaki Clinic.

"What should I do...stop the bleeding first? No...this is a burn wound..."

Masaki Kurosaki muttered to herself as she tried to recall how to treat the injury.

She had mastered the Blood Stasis Armor since childhood and hadn't been injured much. However, growing up in a hospital environment, she was also influenced by what she saw and heard. The Grim Reaper's spiritual body and the human's physical body are somewhat different, but the basic principles of treating injuries are still the same.

Masaki Kurosaki went upstairs and brought down some Quincy medicine from the pharmacy.

"Ouch—that hurts..."

"Are you awake?"

Masaki Kurosaki came downstairs with a medicine box and saw that Isshin Shiba had already woken up.

"How embarrassing, as the team leader, I actually got saved by a girl..."

"No, I'm the one who was saved... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been so badly injured..."

"Hahaha, then we're even!" Shiba Isshin laughed a few times, then pulled at the wound on his back, "Ouch—!"

"I'll treat you, don't move around!"

Masaki Kurosaki took out medicine from the medicine box and began to apply it to Isshin Shiba.

"I thought it would hurt a lot when I applied the medicine, but it felt cool and refreshing!"

Shiba was prepared to experience pain, but to his surprise, the medicine not only didn't hurt when it was applied, but also gave him a very comfortable feeling.

"Of course, this is a Quincy's secret elixir..."

After speaking, Masaki Kurosaki paused for a moment, then realized that this person was a Shinigami (death god), while she was a Quincy.

Although the number of Quincy has been relatively small in recent years, and they rarely clash with Shinigami anymore, this is the first time that Masaki Kurosaki has interacted with a Shinigami.

However, the Shinigami and the Quincy remain enemies.

"Is it a secret medicine unique to the Quincy? No wonder it's so powerful!"

"I was really lucky this time, I ran into a kind Quincy, otherwise I would have been in big trouble!"

Shiba Isshin's sunny smile infected Kurosaki Masaki's emotions, making her let go of some of her grudges.

"Don't move, it's not finished yet!"

Meanwhile, July and Aizen Sousuke also arrived at the clinic.

In July, Shiba Isshin found his spirit space pocket in his tattered captain's haori.

Shiba Isshin's communication device must have fallen outside, and the spiked wine should be replaced to prevent him from discovering the flaw.

......

Two days later.

Zhibo spent the entire day lying on the hospital bed, and by the third day, his injuries had almost completely healed.

"Nothing unusual happened in Karakura Town today; no further spiritual pressure fluctuations from Hollows were detected..."

Masaki Kurosaki went to retrieve the messenger device that Shiba Isshin had dropped outside today, and then used it to report the encounter with an unusually powerful Hollow.

However, considering the relationship between Shinigami and Quincy, and unsure of the other Shinigami's attitudes towards Quincy, he chose to conceal Masaki Kurosaki's existence.

"Finally, I can get out of bed. The Quincy's secret medicine is amazing. Such a serious injury was healed in just one day!"

After finishing reporting the intelligence, Shiba felt a little hungry.

But thinking of the indescribable food that Masaki Kurosaki had prepared for him yesterday, he couldn't help but shudder and decided to get out of bed to get something to eat.

Shiba Isshin went up to the kitchen on the second floor, only to find Kurosaki Masaki lying on the floor.
